Journey of a CEO from Hero to Villain: True Story of the CITGO6

from Unleash Your Inner Goldilocks: How to Get It Just Right! · host Dr. Kasthuri Henry

Life can change in an instant. A successful CEO can become a political hostage in the blink of an eye and get caught up in a battle they had no part in creating. This is a reminder to all of us that fortunes can change in an instant. What sustains us through it all are the love that sees us through, the hope that carries each day forward, and the faith in the unseeable. In this episode, we will explore the importance of learning from the lived experience from the CEO of CITGO who is today known as part of the CITGO6. The conversation will include the exploration of part in creating. the following:💎 What was the series of events that precipitated the hostage situation and what was that experience like?💎 What was the role of unwavering love and determination in keeping the faith and hope alive over 5-years?💎 What was the lessons learned from this series of uncontrollable events?💎 How can the journey from prisoner to freedom help guide others who are prisoners of their own mindset to unleash their personal and organizational potential? I am delighted to feature Jose Pereira, a former oil company executive with thirty-five years of experience and the former CEO of Citgo Petroleum, was unjustly detained and held captive in Venezuela for 1,775 days. His wrongful captivity, based solely on his American nationality, lasted from November 21, 2017, to October 1, 2022. Since returning from his five-year detention, Pereira has reconnected with his family and written his memoir. He stands up for Americans unlawfully detained overseas and strives to modify US laws concerning these crimes. In collaboration with Bring Our Families Home (BOFH), Pereira was instrumental in shaping the protocol that helped bring Brittney Griner home from illegal detention in Russia as the world watched. Previous to this involvement, families were urged to stay silent as they awaited news that their loved ones were returning. It was frustrating and provoked feelings of helplessness as all they could do was trust in the promises of the powers that be. Worse, it delayed resolution and even led to needless deaths.
